As usual, I have read none of the novels up for that prize. And have heard of only the GRRM book.
I'd heard of it, Accelerando and Old Man's War, but the last is the only one I've read. I'm more surprised that Anansi Boys didn't get in than than HBP didn't.
Of the five, the only I haven't seen yet is Wallace and Gromit.
I've seen them all and am not sure which one I'd pick. (Though if you count demiurgent's reminder about Narnia, I called it pretty closely.)
Three nominations for four episodes of Doctor Who, all of which will air in the US before the vote closes.
And two of which we had a chance to see in Glasgow (speaking of, Interaction vets are probably the only reason Lucas Back in Anger and the Prix Victor Hugo are on the ballot). I read plot summaries of the two-parter at a time when I thought the show might never get licensed in America, and it sounds like a worthy one. My money, however, is on "Father's Day" for playing fast and loose with time and space, or "Dalek" for being the equivalent of TNG's "I, Borg" or DS9's "Duet" (with "Jack-Jack Attack" as a possible dark horse based on its parent film having won last year). But yeah, this award is Russell T. Davies' to lose.
